Why The New MacBook Is Actually Cool...

With the announcement of a new MacBook with only a single USB Type C port came a lot of mixed reviews. I'll admit that when I first saw it, I thought it was Apple's version of a Chromebook Pixel (Ironically, a new Chromebook Pixel with two USB Type C ports was announced immediately after Apple's event.). But the MacBook does make an important point. This is 2015. We are in the wireless era. If you need to connect to a display, use AirPlay. If you need to sync files to an iOS device, use AirDrop. iOS devices can sync to computers wirelessly. The MacBook truly defines the wireless era. While it isn't for a someone using it professionally or for development, it is good for a casual user.
